Okay, alright, so I just applied the Essence Contouring Duo palette and I used the darker colour and a little bit of the lighter colour in some spots. I think I need to add more dark up here and in other places like maybe a little more around my nose as well. Though I will say that the lighter colour of the two in here is honestly just like a shader too darker than my foundation. So if you, I would say only use this if you have like fair, fair skin or if you're like me and you're using it as like a base for your highlighter. Cause that's really what I did but it's honestly super easy to blend out. I just put on my foundation, threw it on, blended it out and I think it works really nicely.

This contouring duo palette by Essence was part of my experiment of a full face of makeup using the cheapest products I could find. It's $5.99 and has a hundred percent keep right here on Flip. It's vegan, paraben free, and cruelty free. I got the lightest shade available and the contour actually worked really well. I was pleased with the shade of it, but the highlighter aspect definitely wasn't a highlighter. It was the color of my skin tone. It's not a deal-breaker for me that the highlighter isn't technically a highlighter on my skin. Because if you're a train wreck like me, I get contour everywhere and sometimes I put a little bit too much and that lighter shade definitely helped me to clean up the lines where I put too much contour in. I was going for a very bold glam look and I actually think I kind of nailed it this time, which I never ever do.

Time to try out Essence Contour Duo. Buildable, two options for warm and cool tones. Great for travel.

Hi guys, I'm trying the Essence Contouring Duo Palette. I already made a video, but I didn't realize you couldn't continue to talk on it. So I put it on. It's like an eye shadow. As you can see, it's not blending well at all. This is going to be an absolute no for me. Now I'm going to have to take all my makeup off and redo it. This is definitely not even with the...yeah. This is a no guys. Sometimes price points aren't everything and I know it's cheap, but don't waste your money on this product.

So I just got my hands on the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter. And a lot of people are saying that this could be a dupe for the Rare Beauty Highlighter, the new one that just came out. I have not got my hands on the other Rare Beauty Highlighter that just came out, so I can't really compare it, but I have seen a ton of videos and it is beautiful. We're gonna take a brush. I'm just gonna apply that on. Oh, it's subtle, but it's so pretty. You guys see that? Oh, I just got my favorite highlighter. Regardless if it's a dupe or not, this is a yes for me.

Hi my loves! Okay so this is obviously the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter. It's in shade 10 called Be My Highlight and it's only $4.99. So let's put her to the test and see if she's worth it. I'm a bit skeptical because it looks so matte. Feels pretty soft. Whoa that is so pretty! She's worth it. She's definitely worth it. Highlighter? No highlighter. Highlighter? No highlighter. Look how gorgeous she is. Like 100 out of 10. Definitely recommend. It's only $4.99. You can't go wrong. Go get yourself one.
